World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua was throwing darts instead of punches on Thursday night.

The 28-year-old, who beat Joseph Parker in Cardiff last month, took to the oche in Rotterdam ahead of the latest Premier League action to film a challenge for Sky’s A League of Their Own.

Joshua, donning a black and red darts shirt, walked to the stage with former footballer Jamie Redknapp to the sound of ‘YMCA’ ahead of their match against actor Tom Davis and ex-cricketer Andrew Flintoff.

Joshua won on points against Parker on March 31 but an Instagram video uploaded by the Professional Darts Corporation showed the boxer scoring only 40 with three darts, 10 less than Davis.
